My director said something offhand on a call recently that stuck with me: promotions codify what's already been happening. By the time someone gets promoted, they've already been doing the work of that next level, and the title is just catching up. I've been thinking about i...

Archaeologists have uncovered ancient inscriptions carved into the walls of a cave in Valencia, Spain that point to the cult of an unknown or as yet unidentified goddess.

Lloyd rolled cheap white paint over a sunrise. A spray gun would have been quicker, but he was not paid to be quick. He was paid to be seen. A cruel blank stripe through the colour, then the long covering up: a warning to the artists not to bother. An

I got sick. I don’t know how I managed to catch a flu-like virus in the middle of the summer, but I did. Funny, in English you say “catch a virus” but in Turkish we say “get caught by a virus”. I don’t know who caught whom, but I had been under the weather since Tuesday. Des...

There is this old argument about whether Atom is really superior to RSS. It comes back every once in a while, and also this weekend on Hacker News. Like so often, the central point is the format and encoding of texts and dates. Here, the main example is the <title> ele...

I replied three times for Robert Birming’s JulyReply challenge.

He now has a new challenge called AuguStory, where you write the story of your blog. That seems like something I could sink my teeth into.

I sang a composition arranged by Roland Hayes this Sunday at church. Our church’s regular choir doesn’t do the summer services, so I sometimes sign up to sing a solo one week. This year I learned that we would be preaching from Luke 2, which tells stories of Jesus as a boy, and went looking … Continue reading "Roland Hayes"

## Card Collecting There’s something unsettling about watching a child flip through a Pokémon card collection, only to see each card reduced to a dollar amount scribbled on a Post-it note attached to the sleeve of that card. The magic of those cards, the strategy of building a deck and the joy of battling friends seems to vanish when the only metric that matters is market value. Of course, the

i still haven’t found the time to read this but i’m somehow sucked into everything around it.

this is a great bit of writing and has all sorts of fun pointers around it.

ใช้ Go แล้วชีวิตดี (ถ้าใช้ให้ถูกกับงาน จะเอามาทำโมเดลอันนี้ก็น่าจะฝืนไปหน่อย) สนุกมากตอนมัด A2A ผ่าน Go (ตอนแรกก็ใช้ Python SDK แหละ แต่ magic variables เยอะเกินจนท้อ ไล่แกะกันยุบยับเลย)

ฝั่ง Microsoft เอง ก็ตบเท้าออก agent framework ของ Go ออกมาตัวนึง ดีๆ

Sometimes, you might want to test out something before applying it to a target machine - reason being a botched deployment is harder to fix. If you have a spare machine lying around, you could test on that, but then you'll have to fire it up and make sure the base configurat...

Fascinating thread on Hacker News about RSS.

Have shared a QR code for paying a licence fee on every World Cup broadcast in the summer, you can sense their desperation. Perhaps people are sick of paying £160 a year to fund sex offenders and paedophiles. The Licence fee is not flexible like netflix or Disney+ where pe...
